Indonesia follows Ontario on nuclear hopes

Wow! Indonesia is going to put in 4 reactors. I'll bet they'll have a long short list, talk about it forever, and wait for Schreiber-booty to pour in.

Although *some* Ontario sites are as bad, they'll have a real problem putting up a plant on that unstable land. All the proposed plants for Ontario have a standardized seismic resistance to 30% g, much like a Japanese plant. For Indonesia, they can't gloss over the issue like the Chinese, they'll have to go for 60% g, and I don't know where they'll find such a plant. Perhaps the Russians? I'm sure their certifications are good....
